DARDANELLES EXPEDITION •Colofiel WOOO rosei-and after .shOrflf andd so lemnly observing upon the tsmterk)A.4ol menaced this country, maintained that it was espc theditty of Parliament to keep a vigilant (le upon thoseComm.mders who were entrusted, with; the direetion of the public force for our'coMmon,de- 7; fence. In order to ettable,the House the better to discharge this duty, and preparatory to a gnest ion to •be bcoogbt forward by. an Honourable Friend of his (Captain Taylor), respecting the cOndua of the Es peditioti to the Dardanelles,,he should move for a,. -Copy of the LogrboOk of his Majesty's ship" the Royal George, Captain Richard Dunn, commander, employed in that gicpedition, Iron, the loth to, the .13d of February, .both inclusive, being Igor days; and also tOr a Gcpy of the los4uCtions to Admiral Duckworth. • Mr. IIonERT, WARD observed, that notice might-. to, be given, to Admiral Duck worth,were any charge to be brought against km. Admiral HARDY said the Honourable Colonel had made no case whatever to shew, the Ilduse the ne cessity for complying with his,. motion. He passed an eulogium on the general charader and services of Admiral Duckworth, and also on his manner of passing.. the Dardanelles: He asked also, wfy the Honourable Gentleman moved for. Captain Dunn's log-book, and not the Admiral's also. Was it tib- thing, he asked, to take four of the enemy's lino of battle ships ?' And 'was it at such .a"ntotucnt, and under such circunistances of the country, that Sikh an Officer wail to be taken front the pUblie service, and brought forward for interrogation oti every (riding occasion. Colonel Noon thought,., t .rather .extraordioary, that the Mn. Admiral should averse to tiny in 7 quiry, which it , was the right of that House to'rnake., or to the production iip;:any documents for which it had a right to call. He did ,norwant the document for which he moved for'his. own information, as he had it copy in his pocket, but for the information of the House, who could not accept as official or au thentic that which lie possessed. The information required. Was the state of the winds and currents, at the time of passing the DardanelleS, and during the four days in question ; as, without this knowledge, it would be quite impossible for the House to form a just judgment upon the operations of that Meet, when the subject should come forward for inquiry. Captain TAvLoit said, that he thought that the documents now moved for by the Hon. Colonel were necessary for the information of the House ; and although on the motion of which he had given notice het had no intention to criminate Admiral Duck worth's conduct, yet he' did not assume to. restrain the sentiments or condo& of others., • The cIiNCRI.I.OII of the EXCIIEQUER thought that as the tuotien.eertainly implied sumo intention to criminate the condua of the gallant Admiral,. full time and notice ought . to be given him, in order to prepare his defence, and to produce such eltdence as he thought necessary to his vindication. Colonel Wool) &Aid, he had no objection to the prodotion of alt tho log-books of the Fleet, as }pis only' ItiOtiVe for confining his motion to the siiigle one was to avoid 'giving unnecessary trouble. He had no objeaion to withdraw hitt motion fbr the present, pledging himself, however, to bring it fur ward again in a tew days. Mr. WHITBREAD, at the same time that he heartily joined in every encomium on the guished services of the gallant Admiral,. was equally, ready to do justice to the eminent character of the naval officer who opposed this mo ti on ; s till h e ditto& the production of the log-book in qnestion necessary, as was that of the Admiral's own ship, , It was simply a'i account of. the state of the winds and currents for four successive . days; not merely in pasting the Dardanelles, but' after passing them. It was a species 'of teatitnony which no eXplantition could supply, nor any other_evidence do away; and Was the only evidence by whiCh the could judge upon the question before it. - • ' Sir CHARLES POLE' thought the inquiry in question ought net to be brought tbrward in the absence of the Hon. Admiral,. and that he ought tokhave full and timely notice. He thought the Hon.• Colonel not only implied against him a charge of not doing' his duty, but what was quite as bad, his hiving mis-stated faaa. The Hon. Admiral, therefore, ought to have an opportunity of explaining per senally circumstances which might . totally c h ange opinions founcled an imperfea grounds. He also' thought the question proposed Tor this night's dis cUssion, and tending to implicate the;conduat of Sir Richard Strachan, ought also, to be ponponed, and ample time and notice given to that gallant Officer, to meet any imputation againsthim. The Bon, W. POLE agreed. that full time and no tice ought to be given to A,dnliral:Duckwarth, and to his friends, to move for such documents as he might deem necessary to his vindication ; but ;he begged to sot, the Hon. Deronet right' with . respeet:. , to Sir Richard Strachan, as no charge Whatever . was intended against that brave and most distin gnished Officer by the Hon., Gentleman Who was to bring forward die question this night respeaitig'the Rochefort Squadron ; and if any charge was made against the Admiralty, he was ready to defend it. Atter .soine few additional observations, it was agreed that Colonel Wobd Shoold, withdraw his Motion, and postpone k to'thia ciayse!pniglit, and Captain Taylor, postpone4ns-till4llitirsday se' nn ig tit Mr. GanvrAtsi gave notice of his intention to bring forward the Catholic Question on the Myth.
